7 people stabbed in random attack in Vancouver

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- Police say a man ran through the hallways of a Vancouver apartment building, slashing seven people in what they
believe was a completely random attack,

Sgt. Randy Fincham said Friday seven people were injured in the high rise building on the city's west end during the attack Thursday night. Six people
were taken to hospital and one woman remains in critical condition. Another bystander was treated at the scene and released.

This is getting out of hand!
I can not tell you how many of these knife attack stories I have come across lately.
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!!!!

Isn't there anything we can do to make sure that crazy people can't get access to a knife?

Help me brainstorm for solutions here people.
This HAS TO STOP!!!!!

On a side note,
I am sure every single one of those people without exception are glad they didn't have a gun on them at the time.
I know that our fellow gun grabbers would have felt the same way too. They would have just ended up accidentally shooting abd killing every other
random citizen within a 5 mile radius EXCEPT for the knife wielding maniac.

Its just too bad that all of the victims werent carrying a firearm to defend against the attacker. Neutralize the threat quickly. Or prevent it from
even happening at all.

Degenerates in society will always be among us. Good guys will always be subject to being victims if they are not allowed the means to defend against
said degenerates of society who will never become extinct.

Gun restrictions hurt the good. Only Bad Guys and Traitors fantasize about strict gun control. We have a few Bad Guys and Traitors here at these
forums...

[color=skyblue]"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined or determined to commit crimes. Such laws only
make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assassins; they serve to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be
attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." --Thomas Jefferson

I wonder if the Bad Guys and Traitors here, whom are Pro-gun-control, actually think that they are wiser than Thomas Jefferson.

You're wasting your time, as evidenced by the "bigger knife" comment. Anti gun folk are just never going to see the value of being able to protect
yourself vs waiting for help. Police usually get there juuust in time to call the coroner before you get cold. They think as long as law abiding gun
owners get rid of theirs, that will make us safe from all the bad guys with guns.

Right?

Well I guess if I was scared out of my mind like you appear to be then I would do something outright paranoid like buy a gun and carry it
everywhere...

This is not a gun rights platform. Sorry if your confused. Vancouver has SERIOUS mental health problems with the closure of large mental facilities,
lack of subsidized housing and a blind eye towards the drug trade. This might be shock to you but allowing a region that has a serious problem with
mental health a constitutional right to carry a firearm might be considered utter madness.

The dumb ones do. The smarter ones know they are not and would look stupid to try and say so, so will just downplay the significance of the quote by
claiming "different times", or try to skew what the quote actually means into something that serves their agenda.

".......
Social media erupted Friday with discussion of the attacks, with many users expressing relief that the suspect did not have a gun. [Sgt. Randy]
Fincham agreed.

“It appears this person used whatever tools he had access to, to do the damage that he did in that building,” he said. “I’d hate to see how
much damage would have been done if this person had access to a firearm.”
....."

Your not doing your side of the argument any favors. In fact you're just admitting that if the guy had been wielding a high power rifle we would have
been talking about 6 dead people and 1 critically injured.

Would you rather be stabbed or would you rather take a .223 round to the chest?

As far as my child.....or anyone else's in my eye shot will meet the fate of my aim. And yes my juvenille is with me 24/7 and she will not know how
the public educational systems work just because of all of the madness.

If assult knives were banned then this sort of thing couln't ever happen again.
Why is that so hard to understand?!?!?!
We need to get rid of them or AT THE VERY LEAST make people do background checks as well as register them.
